NIH Announces New Grant Category... "GO" Grants ... $1m minimum

Colleagues,

The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established a new program entitled Research and Research Infrastructure “Grand Opportunities” hereafter called the ”GO” grants program.

This new program will support projects that address large, specific biomedical and biobehavioral research endeavors that will benefit from significant 2-year funds without the expectation of continued NIH funding beyond two years. The research supported by the ”GO” grants program should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery...Only applications with budgets greater than $500,000 total costs per year for a project period of two years are expected to be considered.

This program does not require cost sharing as defined in the current NIH Grants Policy Statement.

The purpose of the “GO” grants program is to support high impact ideas that lend themselves to short-term funding, and may lay the foundation for new fields of investigation. The “GO” grants program will support large-scale research projects that accelerate critical breakthroughs, early and applied research on cutting-edge technologies, and new approaches to improve the synergy and interactions among multi and interdisciplinary research teams. The initiative seeks novel approaches in areas that address specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways. Applicants may propose to address either a specific research question or propose the creation of a unique infrastructure/resource designed to accelerate scientific progress in the future.
